The putative “feral city” is (or would be) a metropolis with a population of more than a million people in a state the government of which has lost the ability to maintain the rule of law within the city’s boundaries yet remains a functioning actor in the greater international system.
Should the feral city be of special importance—for example, a major seaport or airport—the state might find it easier to negotiate power and profit-sharing arrangements with city power centers to ensure that facilities important to state survival continue to operate.
City governments “in the green” would be able to enact effective legislation, direct resources, and control events in all parts of the city at all times.

Kim Stanley Robinson suggests building the city similar to a bunker, built three stories underground with a central core to serve as the city common.
This "bomb-shelter" city should be large enough to comfortably contain about 200 people, or the population of Mars at that time.
Since industries on Mars will generally be built away from cities to specialize in the harvesting of minerals and other resources, this area will consist mainly of the city's nuclear power plant, manufacturing center, and utility complex.

 UF-DESIGNED SYSTEM TO HELP CITIES GAUGE RED-LIGHT RUNNING PROBLEM   (Site not responding. Last check: )
The goal is to give cities an inexpensive way to identify intersections with lots of violators.
"The issue for cities is that the automated enforcement equipment is very expensive, so they don’t want to invest in it at intersections where there is not a significant problem," Washburn said.
"A lot of communities don’t have the resources to have the police sit at a red light and wait to ticket violators," said Slosberg, whose daughter, Dori Slosberg, was killed by a reckless driver in 1996 at age 14.

 Neal Peirce: America's Towns And Cities Vs. Red Ink Washington
DeStefano argued that America's towns and cities, the places where we grew up and went to school, attended church, married and raised children, and buried our parents, are really the heart of the country.
"Cities and towns are not the children, nor are we the creatures, of America.
Instead, Washington is cutting aid to cities and towns even while it plunges the nation into deep seas of red ink -- prospective deficits of a half-trillion dollars or so a year for the rest of this decade.

Via Natasha, It turns out that among cities with a population over 100,000, my hometown of Irvine is the 68th most conservative city in the country.
The same 236 cities were ranked both ways - liberal-to-conservative and conservative-to-liberal; or, equivalently, they were listed in rank of their percentage vote for Kerry in 2004 and their percentage vote for Bush in 2004.
Edwards was the, well, known crook who had the alliances with the inner city fl politicians and the love of the inner city fl voters against the guy who spoke exactly for the angry suburban white voter.

 Orange County, California Grand Jury Reports on Red Light Cameras
Even so, one of the cities without cameras, Westminster, improved the medians on its streets and achieved a greater accident reduction than that claimed for the majority of cities with cameras.
The report recommends that cities resolve the accounting issues, "so they can accurately determine the net operating effects of their RLCs and recover any lost revenues." It also recommends that camera citations no longer be reviewed by a police officer sworn to uphold the law, but by an "employee" to save money.
In general, representatives of these cities said they do not need RLCs because they do not have a red light violation problem that warrants use of the devices, or because they are using other ways to deal with the problem.

In Phoenix, city and tourism officials met last month to fine-tune efforts to attract this segment.
The city has seen a return of $153 in spending for every dollar invested in gay marketing, he says.

 Protecting 'blue' cities from 'red' cuts | The San Diego Union-Tribune
The county-by-county maps, displaying vast expanses of red where George Bush prevailed for the second time in the Nov. 2 election, show a spreading Republican tide big enough to produce his overall 51 percent majority vote.
They are the cities from Atlanta to Seattle, home to tens of millions of Americans.
After lamenting the losses in programs that subsidized police hiring and encouraged urban development projects, Tom Cochran, the veteran head of the mayors' group, said it was shifting its focus from the cities themselves to entire metropolitan areas – highlighting their economic power and hoping to harness their political clout with Republicans.

 Take Slate's Red vs. Blue Quiz. By Anne E. Kornblut - Slate Magazine
Red and blue are states of mind, not actual states.
There are plenty of blue cities in red states, red enclaves in blue states, red-leaning governors of blue states, people who vote Republican but are of a blue state of mind, and so on.
It's not as simple as liberal vs. conservative, elite vs. populist, urban vs. rural, religious vs. nonreligious, educated vs. uneducated, rich vs. poor—if it were, the terms "red" and "blue" wouldn't have taken off as the best shorthand for a divided America.
